Notes

Net Carbs: 4g per serving (6g carbohydrates − 2g fiber).
Substitutions: If chorizo is unavailable, use 1 lb ground beef seasoned with 2 teaspoons taco seasoning. Add diced radishes in the last 5 minutes of cooking for a potato-like texture without the carbs.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Store avocado separately and add fresh when serving.
Reheating: Warm on the stovetop over medium heat. Top with fresh avocado and sour cream after reheating, not before.
